Twist Bioscience Corporation (NASDAQ: TWST) Investigation:
Twist claims it is an innovative synthetic biology and genomics company that has developed a scalable DNA synthesis platform to industrialize the engineering of biology and that the core of its platform is a proprietary technology that pioneers a new method of manufacturing synthetic DNA by 'writing' DNA on a silicon chip.
Twist's claims came under serious question on Nov. 15, 2022, when Scorpion Capital published a scathing investigative report concluding that Twist is '[t]he latest miniaturized ‘lab-on-a-chip' scam, just like Theranos, Berkely Lights, and other failures.'
Scorpion interviewed Twist ex-executives and manufacturing employees, customers, and competitors, and alleges in its report that: (1) Twist 'is a ticking time bomb that we believe is resorting to a Worldcom-esque accounting fraud;' (2) its '[p]urported ‘Factory of the Future' in Oregon, which Twist claims to be ramping with ~100MM of capex, appears deserted based on photographic and other evidence, leading us to believe it is a ruse for improper capitalization;' (3) 'Twist's reported gross margins of 45% are simply implausible, and we think they are actually negative;' (4) '[m]ultiple competitors internally refer to Twist's price-dumping and customer subsidy scheme as a ‘Ponzi'' and (5) 'Twist's management exhibits striking red flags, with suspicious transactions with opaque, offshore Chinese entities, and its largest holders at IPO appear to be a cesspool of bad actors.'
In response, during intraday trading on Nov. 15 the price of Twist shares crashed as much as 33% lower.
'We're focused on investors' losses and whether Twist misled investors about its accounting and the sustainability of its business,' said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
